How can I exec. Girder commands via OSDMenu?

[mattwire]

To execute commands from OSDMenu is indeed very easy(ish).
Help.txt tells you how to do this although I know it isn't all that clear!

Are you using Girder 3.2? The following is an explanation for G3.2/OSDMenu 1.5+

Basically you need to know the device number of the event you want to trigger.
If it is a 'girder event' it will be 18. Otherwise see the plugins page on the girder settings dialog to discover the device number.

Now, in your menu file: eg:
[main]
mygirderevent=#18#myevent

This would trigger a girder event - 'myevent' when the menuitem 'mygirderevent' is executed.

Is this clear?

Hi everybody,

Newbie that I am, I first of all want to thank Ron and all plug-developers for this great project taking my possibilities to remotely control my PC-studio (I do film scoring for TV) far beyond my expectations. I had been quite disappointed by the product "RealRemote" by Dankadata, which I had been reviewing for the german "PC&Musik" mag, so I am happy that I found this amazing solution. Allow me 2 questions:

1. Is it possible to execute (or jump to) girder commands using Matts great OSD Menu?? How?

2. I tried in vain to get a multi-command-group working satisfactory using states - just following Ron's example in the helpfile. It seems as if the IR sends each command twice: one while pressing, one while releasing the button. But even if I double the states count, the states get jumbled up after short... Any suggestions??

Thank you

Thanks Matt,

yes: this is clear. And: Yes, I read the helpfile, but it left me in the dark somehow. You only mentioned "variables" there, as far as I can remember, and I was not sure about if I had to define a variable in girder before I could execute it from OSDMenu etc. But maybe this doesn't even mean the same thing, jumbledyjumbledy......
You see, some homework to do for a newbie, but I understand this concrete notion and the rest will explain itself when I have spent some more time with my rock-solid trial-and-error-approach :).

Thanks again for superb possibilities all this offers me

Roman
